Look at a map of the United
States. One of the smallest states is New Jersey. But did you know that
New Jersey is the most densely populated state in the union? With such
a diverse and relatively numerous population, it would figure that many
well-known and some not-as-well-known-but-still-significant individuals
can lay claim to being New Jerseyans.

The question is, do they consider
themselves New Jerseyans? No matter what they may think ("I'm from New
York."), they are New Jersey through and through.

On this site you will find
a collection of people born or raised in New Jersey. We also have a section
for people who may not have been born here, but, through no fault of their
own, are inextricably linked to the Garden State. Don't
think of us as "outing" these folks, we Jerseyans are rightly
proud of our state, just that we might not say it as often as we should.

Also, we would be much obliged
if you can let us know of people we might have missed. This site is definitely
considered to be a "work in progress"! Thanks!
